What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

Bought my MV50 air compressor from them.

Cheapest on the internet. Quick shipping. Great customer service.

The gauge on unit was off by more than 3% and the plastic oxidized after the first time I used it. Neither a big deal but I called any way. They contacted the manufacturer for me and within 4 days I had two new gauges on my door.

 

Also been to Lowrangeoffroad. Got a set of steel braided extended brake lines for a great price. Shipped them out the same day. Very happy with them.

 

Are you separating the bumper or just removing?

Separating i believe its just the plastic clips, i hate fucking plastic clips

If removing just 6 nuts.

 

I just want to get to that bar that the lower valance covers. I'm assuming I can just remove the lower valance so I can get to the bar. If it's easier to remove the entire bumper I suppose I can do that as well.

 

Much easier to remove the entire bumper. There are two brackets bolted to the bumper about a third inon both sides and then there is one located on the inside of each fender.

I'll try and find pics.

 

That's a good looking 40. Makes me miss mine in a bad way.

 

Sweet. Thanks man. Doesn't look too bad. I'll try to take it apart this weekend and see if I can get my light mounted up.

 

Got some hid lights, now I just have to figure out how to mount them on my tube bumper... Suggestions?

 

Hard to say without any information LOL.

I just got 8 quickfists in, waiting for my deckplate and phone part.

Going to go buy some tube this weekend to build a front bumper I think

 

Most just weld a tab on the bumper, lots of places have tabs if you dont want to make one

 

Yep, I bought some just to have, friend gets them for dirt cheap (use to own a fab shop, has some hookups with people still).http://www.lowrangeoffroad.com/inde...abs/weld-on-light-bar-tabs-sold-in-pairs.html

I'd just go buy some 1/8" steel and make your own.

 

there are a number of TW members who make and sell them...

 

Depending how they mount you could drill a hole in the bumper, but that may look a little odd. Best bet is to make a tab or buy one and weld it on the backside.

 

Did the Tundra brake upgrade

 

My 98 stops like achamp. I don't tow though.

Any other reason to do the tundra brakes?

 

In the future I will be adding armor and it will be loaded with gear when I go off road. Just more stopping power. I notice a big change in braking now from my stock setup with the rims and tires I have.

 

Any downside to the conversion?

My breaks SUCK.

 

None that I have read about.

Edit: parts are pricey but what upgrade is not?

 

Never mind I got 15" rims won't work
